Byblos is one of the oldest inhabited towns in the world. The name Byblos is Greek and means papyrus, which was exported through this port city. The name became synonymous for book and is still used, as in the French language and also for terms like the “Holy Bible”.
The Phoenician alphabet was created at Byblos. This predates the Greek alphabet which is derived from it. The alphabet and the ability to write on papyrus was a pivotal technology in the history of mankind.
Today we continue on the journey of civilization with new electronic technology that has the potential to again fundamentally change the course of humanity. In this blog, we will investigate these new technologies and how they apply to education both in the schools and in industry.
